MPA Urban Innovation and Policy in London United Kingdom | University College London

This Master's in Public Administration (MPA) program prepares professionals to drive transformation in urban policy and comprehend the diverse innovations transforming cities across economic, environmental, social, and physical dimensions. Participants will engage in a capstone project addressing an actual policy issue, collaborating with an external partner organization. Urban centers have become pivotal catalysts for societal, economic, and ecological transformation, housing over half the global population and generating approximately 70% of worldwide carbon emissions.

Cities are progressively adopting novel approaches and policy frameworks to address urban complexities and critical concerns like expansion, climate crisis, and societal disparities. Yet implementing change and fostering innovation presents significant difficulties. Urban policy practitioners require specialized knowledge about change dynamics and methodologies for testing, assessing, and expanding innovative solutions or pilot programs.
